John Butler Trio "Spring to Come" Acoustic In-Studio (+playlist)

It has been a long winter… those who know me best understand the metaphor in those words. But...Spring has come around again… the redbuds are out, the white bass are in the river…..It still feels like I have been transported to some other parallel universe at times. Every now and then I dream about her still. One dream was so real, she was her glorified self, so perfect and beautiful. She had put on her old body, like one might put on clothes. She did that for me so I would recognize her. Everywhere there was any opening in the clothes light was streaming out.  She held me and kissed me, we talked. But I can't remember what we talked about. Eventually she said it was time for her to go, and then,  she was gone… again.

Music for the Road and the Fishing Trip...

    Roll down the window and turn up the Allman Brothers.   In Memory of Elizabeth Reed   helps those hours on the road seem shorter. Most of our fishing around here means a road trip.  Jimbo and I always listened to Gordon Lightfoot when we were on our way to a fishing destination.  Habit or superstition ,  it seemed to bring us good luck.  Here's some other music to tick away the miles. 

  Jeffery Foucault is moody and little dark but perfect for hours on the road before dawn.  Miles From Lightning  keeps the sun out of your eyes.  

David Wilcox .... one of my favorite singer song writers....   his music and poetry are right on in  Perfect Storm   

    Pierce Pettis is another great singer songwriter... Alabama 1959  and  Love Will Find You Again are so beautifully written and played. 

    Peter Mayer sings my favorite version of my favorite song.....  you need  itunes to go here   Moon River

  The Silent Fool  by Eric Mongrain is instrumental genius like rain in the river.... art that takes you where you haven't been before
